Numbers matter.

• Nintendo invested $140 million into research and development in 2002. The United States invested less th $70 million into research and innovation in education in that same year.
• More than 3000 books are published daily.
• The amount of new technical information is doubling every year.
• Half of what college students learn in their first year is outdated by the time they graduate.
• 47 million laptops were shipped worldwide last year.
The numbers are staggering.
